PO Box, Private Bag & Counter Delivery addresses (Delivery Service addresses) This is the standard format for addresses: Recipient and/or organisation Delivery service type and identifier Suburb Town/City and Postcode (See examples on pages 8-9.) Recipient and/or organisation • Put reference information, such as a FreePost authority identifier, customer number or account number, immediately above the recipient line. You can only use FreePost with New Zealand Post PO Box or Private Bag addresses. • Put the recipient and/or organisation above the delivery service type and identifier. The organisation may be used for the name of a composite site (eg. a university or retirement village), or for another postal organisation’s reference. – The recipient’s name is mandatory for Response Bag, Counter Delivery and Poste Restante addresses. Delivery service type and identifier • You must include the delivery service type – one of ‘PO Box’, ‘Private Bag’, ‘Response Bag’, ‘CMB’ (Community Mail Box), ‘Counter Delivery’ or ‘Poste Restante’. • You must include a delivery service identifier (usually a number) for all PO Box, Response Bag and CMB addresses. The identifier is also mandatory for Private Bag addresses if New Zealand Post has allocated an identifier. – Don’t use a delivery service identifier for Counter Delivery or Poste Restante addresses. – Don’t use a delivery service identifier for Private Bag addresses if New Zealand Post hasn’t allocated an identifier. Instead you must include the name of the bag-holding recipient or organisation. – Put the delivery service identifier after the delivery service type and don’t put zeros in front or use spaces, separators or other punctuation. Suburb • Choose the suburb line (below) that matches the delivery service you’re using: Type of address Suburb line Requirement PO Box Box lobby Mandatory* Private Bag Response Bag Not used Not used CMB – rural RD number Mandatory CMB – not rural Counter Delivery Poste Restante Not used PostShop/PostCentre Mandatory Not used * unless the lobby name is exactly the same as the town/city name • For rural Community Mail Box addresses, use the ‘RD’, RD identifier and mail town as described in ‘Basic rural addresses’. • The suburb line details should be shown on a separate line. It may be included on the same line as the Town/City and Postcode if using the consolidated address format.
